Fastk grinding

How does one make an alert for:

Fastk has been below 25 for x periods.

I tried iterating with the "within x bars" thing and doesn't seem to work. For example I made a bunch of if "fastk below 25" and -1 and-2 ...-3 -4 -5 -6 bars. (Not with the - though)

This might be a bit much but you can use the while loop to determine when the last time fastk was above 25 and if it matches your criteria:

input lookBack = 6;
input kThreshold = 25;
def bn = barNumber();
def lastBN = fold k = 1 to (lookBack + 1)
with q = Double.NaN
while isNaN(q) do
if getvalue(FastK, k) > kThreshold then GetValue(bn,k)
else Double.NaN ;

def okay = FastK < kThreshold and (bn - lastBN) >= lookBack;
AddChartBubble(okay,FastK,lookBack + " bars...

this will trigger each time that fastk < 25 over the past 6 bars ( including the current bar)

Code:
def fastk = StochasticFast().fastk;
input lookBack = 6;
input kThreshold = 25;

def t = fastk <= kThreshold;
def s = sum(t, lookBack) == lookBack;

addchartbubble(s,fastk,  lookBack + "\n" + "bars under", color.yellow, no);

alert(s, lookBack + " bars under" ,alert.BAR, sound.DING);

You're the man :)
For my fellow non programmer sub-humans, copy this to the bottom of a copy the included stochasticfast script thingy.

How do you make this work with a top grind? lol

Also, would it be possible to put a horizontal line the chart where the grind began?
